Ladies' night

The Girlfriends seem to be keeping busy; they've showed up playing songs around Christmas Eve and have a bunch of gigs coming up. They seem to be switching up the intraband job descriptions a bit, with Sam doing more frontman stuff and even adding a bass to the mix. Four months ago it wasn't so.

Masked Sam, no bass.



Masked Nigel, also no bass.



Wolfgang does his Gandalf impression.



Shirt-tossing action, now with extra smoke.



Nigel ditched the mask pretty soon.



Barefoot action!



Hair-rocking action!



Sam sings!



Duds-doffing action with Wolfgang!



Earpulling action! Plus bonus background Vincat.



Face-to-face action!



Headstand action!



Everybody gets on down.



Shirtless Sam action!



Grappling action!



Sam drinks first, sings later.



Actually the two were kind of intermixed.



Say, is that mistletoe?



And finally, some (more) rollling around on the floor.



They'll be performing with Monotonix at Babylon next Monday, at Mavericks January 30 with Rottaway and at Zaphod's with Get A Life Losers and Little Girls February 13.
